People who travelled past the scene of a fatal collision in Oadby shortly after midnight on Easter Sunday are being asked to contact Leicestershire Police.

A 52-year-old man died in hospital after being involved in a collision with a white BMW 520d in Harborough Road , the A6, at the junction with Queen Street on Monday, April 2.

Leicestershire Police has identified five vehicles that travelled near the scene at around the time and want to speak to the passengers or drivers.

Officers believe they may have seen the pedestrian prior to the crash or witnessed the incident itself.

These are a white van, two white cars, a small dark-coloured car and a black taxi.

Detective Constable Pete Davies, of the Serious Collision Investigation Unit, said: “Were you in one of the vehicles in the area at the time? You might have had to stop, even for a brief moment, because of this collision. Did you see the collision occur or did you see the pedestrian beforehand?

“If you were in one of the five vehicles, then I would like to hear from you. Even if you thought you only caught a passing glance, what you saw may be useful to our inquiries.”
